oops! I forgot to put something.....I prefer full names rather thatn nicknames. Especially in girls. No Zac for me. Instead, how about Zachary? I think I said that I like Zac because it's short for Zachary, which I do like.
That Montanna/Brianna/Hannah is the worst yet. I actually think that they were the names of three girls whoe were friends in a movie that came out a few years ago.

Jett Jarrad (Jarrad & Laurie; Chevy) - A Jett and a Chevy?! Someone needs to tell these people they are children, not modes of transportation! :b
Kynan Robert (Kerrin & Jodie; Caitlin, Emily) - Is Kynan a real name? They go from the terribly overused Caitlin & Emily to the I-just-threw-together-some-random-letters-to-make-a-trendy-name name like Kynan *scratches head*Eydie Jazelle (Scott & Erica; Bella, Lulu) - I've never heard of Eydie before (sounds like I.D.??) but Bella and Lulu sound like pets' names to me :b

Yes, the nicknames-as-full-names thing is more common here than in the US, although not as common as it is in Britain.Re Montana - TELL me about it! I find it absurd that otherwise perfectly sane Australian parents are naming their kids Montana, Indiana, Dakota etc. It's bizarre. And yes, the parents of Brianna, Hannah and Montanna should be slapped lol.

Like a lot of the names on the list (especially Harrison), but UGHHHH not another Madison Paige (can you feel my pain)! It is the most popular combo in my city.

You just wish you were back in Perth, we know!BOYS:
Alex - prefer as a nn for Alexander
Brody - I'm liking Brody at the moment.
Callum Bryn - Nice names, prefer Brynn.
Christian Thomas - Like Thomas, not Christian because of the connotations.
Ethan Bailey - so don't like Ethan, like Bailey only as a mn and only because it's a family.
Naomi - nice name. :o)
Tom Edward - prefer Thomas with Tom as a nn. Edward is classic.
Vincent Anthony - like this combo and his sisters name Mia (pr. MEE-a not MIE-a.GIRLS:
Amelia Elizabeth - going classic. Love Amelia, prefer Elisabeth spelling though nms really. Both popular names.
Amelie Jane - nice prefer Amelia to Amelie.
Annabel Elizabeth - prefer Amabel, nice combo but popular names. So is her siblings names, Emma and Ben.
Caitlyn - it's spelled Caitlin in my onomastics lexicon (now I've probably gone and spelt that wrong).
Chloe Jasmine - cute, even though nms.
